"Drive!"

"Drive!"

A large army galloped like a torrent, under the word "Xue", Xue Rengui's eyes were full of excitement, He Hunting City successfully won the army's heart, and after a full meal, he set off quickly, and went straight to Broken Leaf City, many of the young generation of generals were named commanders, and Xue Wanche was not willing to lag behind.

The commander can command the five armies, 150,000 horses, and according to the Hanzhou military system, it is permanent, and it is not necessary to temporarily appoint in wartime.

The sun is shining brightly, and the cold wind is continuous.

The barren mountains are deserted and slaughtered, and there is no life in sight on the rolling hillsides.

A mountain eagle flew away in panic without knowing that ravine.

The army rolled over the small hills, rolled westward, found a sheltered ravine after dark, burned a campfire to keep warm, camped, and woke up the next day to continue on the road.

The next morning.

The army walked out of the mountains, the front suddenly opened up, a large grassland appeared, a big river like white satin lying on the grass, the water surface was shining, next to the river was a huge city, more than six thousand meters long, more than seven thousand meters wide, rammed earth for the wall, the momentum was extraordinary.

"It's a big city."

Xue Wanche was a little shocked when he saw this scene, it was actually bigger than Shule's Daman City, no wonder the Turkic army took this as a large rear, and quickly dispelled the original idea of directly attacking the city in his heart, became cautious, and shouted: "The first division is responsible for the east gate, the second division is responsible for the south gate, the third division is responsible for the west gate, and the fourth division is responsible for the north gate. ”

"Obey!"

The four division commanders received the order and led the army to roar away.

Several other divisions followed Xue Wanche to slow down his pace and move forward, allowing the horses and soldiers to recover their strength, just in case.

While walking, Xue Wanche heard a warning sound in Broken Leaf City, and then saw countless defenders rushing towards the city wall, the city gate was closed, and after a closer look, there were still a lot of defenders, and a voice suddenly sounded next to him: "General, the last general asks for battle, directly attack the city, maybe you can catch the other party by surprise and take it in one fell swoop." ”

"The last general also asks for battle, more than 70,000 elite soldiers in ten divisions of our army, it's not that there is no chance." Another said.

Xue Wanche glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Lao Tzu also wants to take it in one fell swoop, a great achievement, but whenever the enemy has less troops, Lao Tzu dares to make a move, the problem is that you can see for yourself, the defenders on the city wall are dense, it can be seen that the defenders in the city are not less than 50,000, at least 30,000, the cost of a hard attack is too great, it is not in line with the consistent style of the Han King, and Lao Tzu can not afford to be held accountable when the time comes." ”

"That's right, the king of Han loves soldiers like a son, he doesn't like to fight with the enemy, the heaviest thing is to defeat the enemy at a very small cost, it's really inappropriate to attack hard, but our army suddenly killed, the enemy was caught off guard, the opportunity is great, it's a pity to miss it." Another division commander also said.

"You know a fart, if you are sure that Lao Tzu will definitely fight, such as He Hunting City, Bingcheng, but you are not sure, or the price is too great Lao Tzu will not fight, don't forget that King Han has explained, surround the point to help."

"Reinforcements?"

Several division commanders pondered for a moment, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they laughed.

They are all veterans of a hundred battles, how can they not think of the deep meaning?

The army soon came to a stop three miles in front of the city, and the soldiers did not move like a mountain, but a shocking aura of slaughter rushed into the sky, shaking all directions.

Walking from Tibet, all the way through the grassland, going to the Gobi, climbing the snow-capped mountains, what harsh environment has not been experienced? The willpower has been greatly tempered and improved, and he is a veteran of a hundred battles, and now he has become a real hero, not afraid of any enemies and difficulties.

Someone in the city was shouting something, but Xue Wanche couldn't understand it, so he motioned for the interpreter to step forward.

The interpreter immediately stepped forward for a distance, listened carefully for a while, and returned, explaining: "General, the person who shouted called himself Ashina Zanluo and asked us who we were and why we came. ”

"Ashina, Turkic surname?"

Xue Wanche is no stranger to this surname, his eyes suddenly lit up, the surname of the country plus the important broken leaves of the town guard, this is definitely a big fish, staring at the interpreter and said excitedly: "Go, let him get out and surrender, just say that my Tang army can drive them out of the northern grassland back then, and they can be killed out of the Western Regions again, and even exterminate the race, and if they don't accept it, they will come out and do it." ”

The cost of siege is too great, and it is different if the enemy is provoked to come out into the field.

The interpreter said yes and hurried away.

"General, didn't you say that King Han confessed and wanted to surround and send reinforcements?" A division commander reminded.

Xue Wanche smiled indifferently: "It's a siege to send reinforcements, but the enemy is out of the city, we can't wait to be beaten, right?" ”

Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard this, and sure enough, it was still the warlike general, and it hadn't changed at all.

The interpreter soon came back and said truthfully: "General Qiyu, the other party scolded our army, what he said was very ugly, and he also said that there was a kind of siege, saying that they had 100,000 Turkic warriors here, and they were not afraid of any enemy, let us wait to bear their wrath, and see that posture seems to be about to leave the city." ”

"Ruthless words often don't have the courage to come out, 100,000 is just a huge disparity, exposing its lack of confidence, so it seems that the most soldiers defending the city are 30,000, but let's not rush, fence up, eat something first, and recover your strength." Xue Wanche waved his hand disdainfully and turned over.

Several division commanders also dismounted and surrounded them.

"The order is to go down, half of the troops of each army are on alert to prevent the enemy from leaving the city, and the rest are dismounted to rest, set up camp, burn fires and cook, and guard regiments, all disperse, and use small teams to reconnoiter fifty miles in all directions, and report as soon as there is a situation, and there must be no mistakes." Xue Wanche shouted.

The order was quickly conveyed and the army moved.

Xue Wanche said and stepped forward on foot, carefully observing the city in front, the earthen wall was more than two zhang high, judging from the large number of soldiers gathered in Chengtou Mountain, the thickness was more than one zhang, but it was a majestic city, however, there was an explosives bag in hand, and the city wall was useless and meaningless.

"But ......"

Xue Wanche looked at the terrain around him, which was not conducive to defense, once the enemy reinforcements arrived, the consequences would be very serious, and he had to do some defense.

"General, there is a flying eagle out of the city, I'm afraid it's a message." A voice came from behind him.

Xue Wanche said indifferently: "It's okay, let them pass on the news, otherwise how to relieve the Turkic siege, how to surround the point to send reinforcements, and tell the soldiers not to shoot them." ”

After speaking, Xue Wanche continued to observe the terrain in the distance, the east, south and north are connected by mountain ranges, which are endless, forming a horizontal U-shape, the slope of the road from the east is relatively gentle, the south is the highest, and the north is second, like a natural shelter, no wonder the Turks chose to live here, and eventually developed into a major commercial town.

"General, look!"

A shocked voice suddenly sounded, with a thick anger.

Xue Wanche looked back and saw that there were many more people on the city wall, dressed as Tang people, men, women and children, and everyone had a bright knife around their necks.

The next moment, Xue Liang's knife was raised violently, slashing at the neck almost at the same time.

Blood rises to the sky, especially bewitching in the sun!

Immediately afterward, headless corpses were thrown off the city walls, as casually as garbage bags.

"Hahaha!"

At the head of the city, the defenders laughed unbridledly, fiercely, viciously, and arrogantly.

"No—"

"Brute—"

Xue Wanche was dumbfounded, a monstrous anger rushed to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, like a wounded beast, crazy with hatred!

The soldiers drew their swords one after another, eager to rush forward.
